C G6
i want to reach out over the loch
Am F
and feel your hand across the water
C G6
walk with you along an unapproved road
Am F
not looking over my shoulder

C G6
i wanna see , and i wanna hear
Am F
to under – stand your fears
C G6 Am F
but we’re north and south of the river

C G6
i’ve been doing it wrong all of my life
Am F
this holy town has turned me over
C G6
a young man running from what he didn’t understand
Am F
while the wind from the loch just get colder , colder

C G6
there was a badness that had its way
Am F
but love wasn’t lost , love will have its day
C G6 Am F
north and south of the river
C G6 Am F
north and south of the river

C G6
can we stop playing this old tattoo
Am F
darling i don’t have the answer
C G6
i wanna meet you where you are
Am F
i don’t need ya to surrender

C G6
’cause there’s no feeling that’s so alone
Am F
when when the one you’re hurting is your own
C G6 Am F
north and south of the river
C G6
north and south of the river
Am F
north and south of the river

C G6
some high ground is not worth taking
Am F
some connections are not worth making
C G6
this old church bell no longer ringing
Am F
some old songs are not worth bringing
C G6 Am F
north . . . / higher ground is not worth taking
